UDOT outlines $210 million SR-108 widening through Roy; 30% design, right-of-way outreach to begin
Summary
UDOT designers presented plans for a three-mile widening of SR-108 through Roy, Clinton and West Haven, estimated at about $210 million, with construction targeted for 2027-2029 and roughly 200 properties expected to need right‑of‑way or easement coordination.
A team working for the Utah Department of Transportation presented preliminary designs to the Roy City Council on March 18 for a widening of SR-108 (locally 3500 West / Midland Drive) that will extend existing work in Clinton through Roy and up to just south of 4275 South.
The project team said total project value is currently estimated at about $210 million and that the schedule anticipates construction beginning in spring 2027 and running through fall 2029. The design is roughly 30% complete.
Aubrey Benyon of David Evans and Associates, the engineering firm working under UDOT, described the corridor as a roughly three-mile stretch across three jurisdictions. "In total, I think there's 200 or so properties, between these 3 cities, that we'll need to acquire some or even do a temporary construction easement from," she said, adding that UDOT will begin limited outreach to property owners and that initial right-of-way contacts will target properties already identified for full acquisition in earlier environmental work.
The design team described the typical section planned for Roy as two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction, an approximate 14-foot median, 8-foot shoulders, a 12-foot multi-use path on one side and a sidewalk on the other with a 4-foot park strip. The team said the multi-use path is intended to serve pedestrians and cyclists.
Bob Clegg, also with the consulting team, said some portions of the corridor will require full property purchases while other portions will be restricted sliver acquisitions or temporary easements; he described a staged right-of-way outreach plan, meeting small groups of property owners at roughly 10 at a time to explain timelines and property-rights processes.
The presenters said the project ties to other area investments, noted coordination with utility companies for relocations, and said the design intent is to tie into recent work on 5600 South to avoid rework. The team also said the project includes a landscape and aesthetic budget the cities can influence for elements such as powder-coated poles, hanging baskets and additional lighting.
Council members pressed on schedule and where work will begin; the presenters said outreach will start on the south end near 1800 North in Clinton with a public, interactive GIS map available online and updated regularly.
Ending: UDOT and its consultants said additional property-owner meetings would begin in coming weeks and months now that the project has advanced to 30% design; construction remains scheduled for 2027-2029 and will require ongoing coordination among UDOT, the consulting team and the three cities.
